Polls are absolutely useless until they figure out a different way to do them. Nobody but weirdo cranks answers the phone. Online polls are easily manipulated.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

I hope today something makes me laugh as hard as yesterday when my son thought one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was named “D’angelo”.

The Supreme Court has ruled that King Joseph I now has quite a bit of power to act criminally. He should use it.

An official act of the Executive to jail any Supreme Court justice the executive deems to be acting contrary to law should be the first thing Joe Biden does.

Spending the morning reimagining Pavement’s “Cut Your Hair” as an outlaw country song by Merle Haggard.

Did Lando win racer of the day and finish dead last?

I see Max V has returned to “if I can’t win I will make sure you can’t either” mode.

I’m sorry but all sports fans have to see how the Atlanta United game ended tonight. Ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous

Love political ads that say things like “TODAY PRICES ARE STILL RISING!” and citing a newspaper article from SEVENTEEN MONTHS AGO. Remember those Chinese spy balloons from forever ago? That’s more recent!

Is Finebaum on all the time at the Bama rec center? Likely.

I feel a weird sense of aging within me, but it’s a legitimate feeling of “things used to be better” that I usually criticize in folks older than me. This: the internet was much better when it was smaller. Now there is so much junk, scams, AI bullshit, etc that useful info is impossible to find.

How out of touch is Washington? This picture was taken in a Five Guys.

Got today’s worldle geoguess instantly because there was a dumbass cybertruck in the picture.

happy belated 5-year anniversary to what is, for my money, the greatest political post of all time

This movement to restrict smartphones in schools seems to miss the one reason teachers have told me they grudgingly accept them: they are absolutely vital in a school shooting. Maybe do something about the guns first?

Place this growing centrist movement alongside the many pieces of state legislation + school board candidates that base their views on Coddling of the American Mind: Haidt’s direct influence over policies that govern young people’s live is enormous. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

Gavin Newsom wants to restrict smartphone use in schoolswww.washingtonpost.com The California governor’s statement comes amid increased scrutiny of how social media apps impact youth mental health.

I would’ve ruled out that goal but Gundogan cannot possibly be called for a foul under any circumstances so I get it.

Oh to be a Balkan cardiologist this morning! Fine finish for neutrals!

I saw Jerry West in person once. He and Pat Riley were sitting together scouting a high school game between Dwight Howard and Randolph Morris.

Carlos Alcaraz has such a wide array of “the absolutely perfect shot you could hit at this time.” Like, at any given moment he can kill you a dozen different ways in a dozen different places.

I am befuddled. I didn’t watch the Atlanta United match this week and only now saw the controversy over Charlotte’s opener and how PRO rebuked the refs for using VAR when it wasn’t clear and obvious. My confusion was “why is whether it crossed the line subject to interpretation at all?”

Now if they’d used the Houston Oilers’ logo too then it would’ve been funny.

LA ABC affiliate promotes Carolina Panthers in Stanley Cup Finaldlvr.it The Florida Panthers play in the NHL — not the NFL. If you’re reading this, chances are that you already knew that. But whoever put the graphics together for KABC in Los Angeles needed a reminder on Saturday night. Florida defeated the Edmonton Oilers 3-0…

How ‘bout them dawgs!

Seems like half the drivers were extremely offended by all the “Monaco is a parade and totally boring” talk and decided to lose their fucking minds on the very first lap.

Everyone sweating balls and complaining about the heat in Monaco and it’s… 71 degrees. Cannot wait for that August ManU/Liverpool match in Columbia, SC. 22 Europeans will spontaneously burst into flames.
